It's Friday and I know you all have weekends to plan...or just weekends full of wedding planning! Am I right or am I right? Well either way, you're all busy so today will be short and sweet :)

A couple years back, I learned the best trick I could have ever learned. I use to use this trick a lot, like all of the time but recently, it has gotten lost somewhere in all of those brains. But earlier this week, it suddenly came back to me. I wasn't thinking about anything in particular, just day dreaming and it appeared out of thin air!

And then I realized, "Why haven't I been using this more!"

You see, I never used to associate this little trick of mine with weddings. But why not?? Honestly, I have no idea! But as it came back to me this week, I realized that this is the best tip I could ever give a bride. I have a lot of tips and tricks up my sleeve but this one...this one is the best of the best.

A little trick I call...

Sorry, I don't have a name for it but I will let you know when I think of a good one :) For now, we can call it:"The Best Trick The Overwhelmed Bride Has Ever Taught Me."

I know, it's quite the name but I'm throwing it all on the table today!

While planning your wedding, there will be times that you will feel sad, upset, miserable, hurt, disappointed, over it, overwhelmed, and many more...all at the same time. And I can promise you one thing, keeping those negative thoughts is only going to make matters worse. Much much worse.

So without further ado, here is my trick:

Any time you are feel anything negative and you can't snap out of it, smile.

That is all there is to it! My trick is one word...smile. You don't even have to think about something happy, just turn that frown the other way, and it'll just come naturally!

You see, it is impossible to be mad and happy at the same time. And it is impossible to smile and be mad at the same time. It may sound hard to believe, but you need to try it for yourself! You can't try it out now, because you are probably very happy that is is Friday, but you can try it any time you are sad, mad, or unhappy about anything and I promise, it will work.

There's a catch...

Sounded too good to be true, right? Well here it is...

The second you stop smiling, the happiness will fade but as long as you keep a smile on your face, the negative energy will be completely forgotten!

Does it work for you?

It's worked for me and I think it can work for you! But we want to hear the results!

Next time you are in a bad mood, try our trick and take a pic and #thebesttricktheoverwhelmedbridehasevertaughtme :)

And with that, you will have the most amazing wedding planning experience, just as it should be!
